Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such
as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to

Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances
between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children
are in the area.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15
amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to
children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any
refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door
handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
